Lest we forget the little tidbit that came out a couple of months ago- the flight control computers for these drones were found to nearly all be infected with computer malware/viruses/trojans that they military was not able to keep cleaned off. Is this connected? Who knows - but something smells very badly and its not just the funk of the rotten Obama administration (though there is little doubt that his crap is near the top of this pool of poo).
Perhaps the drone is virally infected and accomplished its mission to “fall” into Iranian hands. Why would a US military source be crowing about what a prize it was? Rather than self distruct, would it be better to spread digital contagion to anyone foolish enough to hack it?
the flight control computers for these drones .... probably contain chips made in China (CHEAPER $$) ... AND YOU GET THE PICTURE (backdoor - trojan horse)
